(Replay of Episode 2). In this episode I discuss The Adult Chair® Model, a framework integral to my work as a life & emotional wellness coach, as well as a guide I use to educate people through this podcast. 

This episode provides a comprehensive introduction to The Adult Chair® Model to help establish context for the work I do with clients and the aim of this podcast - to help people connect to their authentic self. 

The Adult Chair® Model, crafted by Michelle Chalfant, is a framework where simple psychology meets grounded spirituality. It’s a tool to help process emotions, identify unconscious beliefs and understand the different parts of yourself. 

I begin by sharing my personal story about how I found this methodology and how it changed my life. Then, I explain the Three Chairs: The Child Chair, The Adolescent Chair and The Adult Chair. 

Next, I explain and provide examples of how each chair serves as a unique phase of your life story. 

  •  The Child Chair (ages zero and six), a time when your true feelings, emotions and needs are online.
  • The Adolescent Chair represents the phase when you begin to develop your own identity, and it's also a time when you begin to protect yourself from rejection. It's common for different personalities to form like the people pleaser, the perfectionist, the controller and more. The Adolescent is usually operating from the past or future.
  • The Adult Chair represents your highest self: living in the present moment, dealing with facts and truth over stories and assumptions.

You can expect more in-depth discussions about how to use this model and the tools in future episodes. If this approach resonates with you, let's connect - click the link below and book a free consultation session.
